Cream cheese is a �soft unripened cheese made of sweet milk and cream.� It has a mild taste, but it is also high in fat. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, as cited by Wikipedia, cream cheese contains at least 33% milk fat (as marketed) with a moisture content of not more than 55%, and a pH range of 4.4 to 4.9. Stabilizers like carob bean gum and carrageenan are added to it. Cream cheese is different from Brie and Neufch�tel because it is not naturally matured and should be consumed once opened. It is often used in breads, bagels, and crackers. Cream cheese can also be used as a dip for salad and chips. It can be added as an ingredient in other favorable desserts, like this Cream Cheese Lemon Bars.

This cheese is an American invention. It is developed in 1872 in New York. According to Peggy Trowbridge Filippone, a Home Cooking Expert in About.com's website, cream cheese is one of America's most widely-consumed cheeses.
